Simon RushworthAnglo-Maltese musical mash-up Ġenn (pronounced Jenn) are stepping up the pace in 2020 with the release of riotous new tune Du Da Dance.
The post-punk anthem coincides with the first of this year’s live shows at Bristol’s The Old England.
Vocalist Leona wrote the lyrics on the train in Madrid 10 minutes before demo-ing them.
“It’s about not caring about what other people think of you or say about you,” she said.
“And about just enjoying life.”
Based in Brighton, the band is a result of a trans-national pairing which came about through the internet between three musicians from Malta, and one from the UK.
The Ġennata (English translation: craziness) has only just begun.
